Two Free Online Photography Courses For This Month

There are so many online photography lessons one can attend and some of them are free. Yet, the difficult part is to find the course to fit your expectations and also to have the self-discipline to accomplish them. In the past I have accomplished several free online courses, whice were very high-leveled and made me wish my academic studies to have been with the same quality. Or, other online lessons that were so theoretical and boring that I quit them after few days.

The key of success for attending a free online course is to find the material that really interests you at the moment you can spend some of your precious time in reading. These are two free online photography courses that I found them well-organized, interesting and useful with great material. So, it's really worth participating in them. ○ Digital Photography at Stanford UniversityIt includes interactive diagrams, educational text, exam slides, weekly photograph assignments and final exam practice questions.
